Imam Sajjad (as), peace be upon you

O Allah send blessings on Ali bin Husayn,
the lord among (Thy) adorers,
whom Thou selected for Thy pure friendship,
and, in his lineage, appointed his offspring as the true guides (Imams) who truthfully guided the mankind,
and for that purpose repeated them, one after another,
as Thy own preferred choice.
Thou kept off uncleanness far from him,
elected him in preference over others,
and appointed him as the rightly guided guide.
O Allah send blessings on him, much and more blessings than Thou had bestowed upon any of the descendants of the Prophets,
till Thy blessings enthrall him with joy and delight,
in this world and in the hereafter. Verily Thou art Almighty, All-Wise.


اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدِ الْعَابِدِينَ‏
الَّذِي اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَ مِنْهُ أَئِمَّةَ الْهُدَى الَّذِينَ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ بِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ‏
اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُ مِنَ الرِّجْسِ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ هَادِياً مَهْدِيّاً
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ‏
حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ بِهِ مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عَيْنُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِنَّكَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيم
